Poem
The Bulldog Gets Married The day is perfect: Sunlight gold Sapphire blue The skies smile down upon us And the silence rings with joy. She too, stands perfect: Her Beauty pure Her dress like snow Swirls about her flawless youth; The quiet music starts. Together we walk Hand in hand, Stone by stone Her future waits before us, Shining in the sun. She who won my heart Rules his today; There he stands, Ablaze with love and honor Watching our approach. The final end of Childhood comes As with one kiss All is sealed With public vows and rings All who witness much approve. And the photographs Are duly taken And the friends all laugh in love As my daughter rules her Day With not the slightest show of effort And the Past enfolds the Present As we lift each glass and toast And we all accept our Futures As the sun smiles on us all, Enfolding us in light Shared memories fill The festive air The dying Summer Yet stretches out in languid Peace And makes this Day Eternal Yet even Eternities end, Making way for others; The Forever light of Childhood Yields to Infinite Adulthood, and that to Age, And on into the starry Night approaching with the shadows... Pair by Pair The guests depart The Couple leaves to start their Life. The silent Wheel turns ever on, Bearing us upon its rim. So she who owns my heart Leaves holding his And All is as such things should Be. A Summer dies, a Fall begins; The Quiet rains around us. A Forever Day, this Day; A piece of What Will Ever Be: Love and Laughter Wrapped in gold and sapphire, In a Silence that rings with Joy.
